Usage notes
- Use stella for the object in the sky. For a famous person, Italian usually says star, especially in entertainment and sports.
- For movie or music celebrities, star sounds more natural than celebrità, which is broader and often more formal.
- Star is feminine in Italian: una star famosa, le star internazionali. The form usually stays unchanged in the plural.
